My Favourite Cricket Moments 2018 (July-August)
I saw some very fine cricket in July & August
England v India – Ageas Bowl – Day 4
Right, let’s see how this internet works this evening, hopefully it won’t make me want to throw my laptop out the window! Tomorrow I go home so should be back to normal wi-fi wise, but until then, here I go! I’m not even going to try to add photos here, I’ll do that at home. Day 4 of this test […]
England v India – Ageas Bowl – Day 3
PHOTOS TO FOLLOW Day 3 of the 4th test saw another utterly glorious day at The Ageas Bowl, today is the first of September, Autumn supposedly, not in Southampton, the sun shone in a largely blue sky all day. India had finished their innings with a lead of 27 runs, how important would that be in this low scoring game? What I’m going to type next may need some time to digest, England batted…….. ALL DAY! That was what was needed for the home team to salvage this game. The 2 openers Alastair Cook and Keaton Jennings were under some pressure with averages of 16 and 15 respectively. Cook had scored runs against Pakistan but this was proving to be […]
England v India – Ageas Bowl – Day 1
MORE PHOTOS TO FOLLOW WITH PROPER INTERNET ACCESS – I warn there are lots of India celebrating! This should probably come with a warning, this may well become a rant! Especially as I currently can’t access the internet in the expensive hotel I’m staying in! My internet access has been better in the much cheaper Travelodge’s and Premier Inn’s I’ve […]
England v India – Edgbaston Day 3
My journey to the ground for Day 3 was seamless, I felt like trying to tell those paying to park that they really didn’t need to! I had empty seats around me, they must’ve heard about me! But had a few good exchanges of views throughout the day. England had the opportunity to get runs on the board and set […]
England v India – Edgbaston Day 2
My morning had a much better start than Day 1, I drove to the road I was parking in rather than driving miles away from the ground! It was a much better plan. My seat was in the Scriveners Opticians Stand, I knew this would be a good seat because I’d picked it when I visited the ground to watch […]
England v Pakistan – Day 3 – Headingley
Day 3 at Headingley and I decided to dress for sunshine, whether it came or not! I drove half the way and walked the other half, there’s plenty of street parking if you’re prepared to walk around a mile. I object to paying to park when I’ve paid for my ticket and accommodation. England were in a strong position and […]
Essex v Surrey T20 Blast
The T20 Blast started for Essex with a Friday night match at the Cloud FM County Ground, London rivals Surrey were the opposition. That held double interest for me, I’m an Essex member and fan, but also a Surrey member so I have a regard for them too. Ryan ten Doeschate won the toss and put Surrey in to bat, […]
